"I watched this TikTok where the guy was saying 3.5 is the sweet spot for Chinese restaurants. 4 and above too many white people are going and its prob expensive and below 3 your risking it. I found this true. I found myself at a training for 5 days across the street. I am vegan so Chinese was a welcome sight. First--the cook and staff are chinese and their english isnt great. Hot sauce and hot doesn't really get across but ask for siracha they have that. I love the place I have eaten there 4 nights in a row. I only get time to eat like an actual meal a day and this is my place. The General Tsos tofu is great. I enjoyed all the tofu dishes I have had. One night I was the only one there and some grandmother was alone in the kitchen. I always just point at what I want on the menu. That seems to get across fastest. She came out and was sooooo cool. I got country tofu and I think she knocked it out of the park. I like the prices as well. Seems fair. Look people gripe about this place but I think there is a language barrier. But for me thats a feature not a bug. The cooks and waiter are all old chinese so your getting authentic food. You can find chinese restaurants filled with white cooks and folks who will get your modifications word for word and give you white persons chinese food...but this place is real. The veggie rolls are good also. I will have eaten here 5 nights in a row for my only real meal and I am glad they are here. Solid."
